fast traffic at night is often anxiety producing

Feeling anxious behind the wheel isn’t something you should blame yourself for. Often, it’s a result of past experiences and the way you’ve been trained to think about driving. Maybe you had a close call, or perhaps you’ve heard too many scary stories. Whatever the reason, it’s important to know that you’re not alone, and that there are ways to turn things around.

One effective approach is to retrain your mind and body to respond differently to driving. Start by acknowledging your fears and understanding where they come from. Then, take small, manageable steps to build your confidence. This could be as simple as learning in a the right place at the right pace. Gradually, as you gain more experience and positive outcomes, your anxiety will start to ease. Remember, it’s all about retraining and rewiring, not blaming. With time and practice, you can become the confident driver you want to be.

Focus on the task not the fear.
